Established in 1826, Walterboro is the entryway to the South Carolina Lowcountry and is the epitome of a small southern town, perfect for a springtime Criterium. This historic town has managed to achieve economic prosperity while at the same time preserving its small town character that excludes the grace and charm southern towns are known for. Here, moss-draped live oak trees shade the quaint streets of the downtown area and time moves at a slower pace, that is of course until some of the fastest sprinters in the world converge on Walterboro for the 3rd stop
